 * Hi there
 * Are you looking at IPv6 subnet support? Our router keeps giving us different 
   IPv6 addresses in our subnet and every time I turn the computer on I have to 
   enter a new IPv6 address in the plugin.
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@markcanada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcanada/),
 * I don’t understand your question. Do you want to exclude an IPv6 subnet from 
   maintenance mode? Unfortunately, we have no plans to add this feature soon.
 * If you have a dynamic IP address, you should authenticate to see the website.

 * Hi George
 * Yes, you understood correctly. It’s too bad you don’t plan on including that 
   soon.
    Our ISP gives a permanent IPv6/56 subnet to our router and when a computer
   connects to it one of those public IPv6 addresses is handed out to each computer
   at the time. It’s just a different one each time. So every time a new network
   connection is established we need to add/change the IPv6 address to the exclusion
   to see the site in a non-logged-in state if we work on functionality that is 
   different for not logged in users. Also – because of this we can not exclude 
   our clients’ IPv6 address so they can easily preview the site if they are on 
   IPv6.

 * [@markcanada](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcanada/) I understand your
   point of view on this, and we will certainly add the feature in a future release.
   Unfortunately, I can’t give you an ETA because we already have a lot of other
   feature requests (most of them much more demanded than this one) in the queue.
 * You can also extend the plugin by writing a custom exclusion mechanism if you
   have the right skills (PHP + WordPress). See the ‘[wpmm_is_excluded](https://github.com/Designmodocom/WP-Maintenance-Mode/blob/e4829aeaa80af6d516f803052a78479d7627120e/includes/classes/wp-maintenance-mode.php#L775)‘
   filter.

 * Hi George
 * Thanks for the info. I understand that you probably have other things to do but
   wanted to make sure that you are aware and planning to deal with what’s happening
   when IPv6 rolls out further.
    The filter thing is interesting. I haven’t done
   any work with filters but am familiar with some WordPress programming. Let’s 
   see who finds the time first 😉
 * Thanks for the great plugin
    Mark
